Spec Script Sale: “Ten”

Per Deadline:

Days after he scored a seven-figure deal from Universal for Snow White and the Huntsmen, producer Joe Roth is in the center of another auction. In a competitive situation, QED and financier/producer Norton Herrick have committed to fund Ten, a drama that will begin shooting in December with Bruce Willis starring. Patrick Allesandrin is directing a script by Skip Woods. Roth and Palak Patel will produce with QED principals Bill Block and Paul Hanson, Herrick and Woods. Basically, the backers committed to fund a picture with an under $35 million budget. They’ll set a distributor shortly.

Woods’ other writing credits include Swordfish, Hitman, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and The A-Team.

By my count, this is the 36th spec script to sell in 2010.
